Each of us doesn't want ourselves and our relatives not to get sick, but it's unrealistic not to get sick. However, not getting sick is our common aspiration and the highest realm pursued by Taoist medicine.
For the public, if they don't get sick, they still need to master some basic knowledge and skills in health care, disease prevention and medicine. At the same time, they must have a calm, loving, grateful and integrated mind. Only in this way can they live a long and healthy life together.
Next, Minister Renze introduces the eight principles of Taoist health preservation to ensure that you are healthy and not sick.
Virtual evil steals the wind, sometimes it can't be avoided.
It means that measures should be taken to combat, eliminate and avoid all factors that may cause diseases or damage health. Generally speaking, most diseases of human body are caused by external pathogenic factors acting on human body, resulting in disorder of human life law. Therefore, measures should be taken to avoid contact with the source of disease infection, and all factors that cause diseases and disasters should be contained and intercepted to prevent problems before they happen.
Calm and empty, the true qi will follow.
Keep a normal mind and hold your true qi. Plain nothingness is about a state of mind, a state of mind of "a hundred rivers flow into the sea, and a tall building rises from the ground". In social life, people actually can't completely follow their own wishes, and more are involuntarily. No wonder it is difficult for people to achieve a calm and nihilistic mentality. This is a philosophical attitude of "if the heart is clear, the sky will not collapse", and it is also an attitude of "harmony with the light and dust, not competing with the world". We can only get as close to this realm as possible, as far as possible.
Keep your spirit inside and stay away from illness.
It is difficult for diseases to get close to the human body, because the human body has a spirit and a psychological wall to resist external evils. "Spiritual self-defense" is not only the spirit in the human body to defend the body in the body, but also to make the mind strong. The following "leisure and less desire" and "peace of mind" are supplements to mental internal security. As long as we are not dragged down by external diseases and disasters, mental internal defense is not only a good medicine for healing, but also a chicken soup for the soul.
Idle is also less.
I have the ability to run the country and keep the country safe, but I am in a leisurely mood. I don't bend over for five buckets of rice, and I don't have bad ambitions and desires. Just like Zhu Gekongming, he devoted himself to Nanyang, not seeking Wen Da as a vassal, indifferent to his ambition, and serene.
Peace of mind without fear
Quiet and peaceful mind, with a gentleman's demeanor, with a cautious and independent personality. Whether there is a wound in broad daylight or on the road I have walked, we can walk correctly and steadily through a sheltered depression. No matter how turbulent the times are, or in harmonious days, my heart always remains calm. No worries, no worries, no fears, so that the state of mind can reach the state of mind of real people.
Tired and tireless
Work every day, but not beyond the human body's tolerance, work and rest. Labor is for survival, self-realization and social progress. Labor is the most delicious, not empty talk. Wouldn't it be boring to do nothing every day? But work should not exceed the load that the body can bear, and every work should be based on the fact that the body is not sleepy. If you are sleepy and tired, you should rest and exercise.
If you listen, you will get what you want.
Only by maintaining the integrity between heaven and earth can we realize our desires and ideals that do not violate morality and chivalry. To be a man, you should have integrity, backbone, courage and charm, control the fire of desire in your heart and realize your ideals and wishes reasonably.
Eat well, let it serve you, enjoy its vulgarity and compete with each other.
Eat food that doesn't rot or mold, wear clothes that you like and don't luxury, like and inherit traditional customs, and there is no world of which is better or worse. Living in such an environment, just like a paradise, will naturally integrate body and mind into nature, maintain a high degree of consistency and unity with nature, and achieve the realm of harmony between man and nature.
In Huangdi Neijing thousands of years ago, the secret of "not getting sick" was clearly stated in such a simple paragraph. However, it is not easy to really practice the eight principles of "not getting sick".
